This week, the Sydney Swans are heading to Adelaide for the AFL's Gather Round. Sydney will take on Collingwood under lights in a Friday night blockbuster.
We have South Australia to thank for some of our favourite people: Will Hayward, Brodie Grundy and Matt Roberts plus CEO Tom Harley and chairman Andrew Pridham.
South Australia is unique and so is some of its cuisine! So, if you're heading down to Adelaide this weekend, check out these uniquely South Australian foods and give them a try.
Fritz Sandwiches
Found in the deli department of most supermarkets or at a local butchers, Fritz is a type of processed luncheon meat made into a roll. Paired with some tomato sauce on bread, a Fritz sandwich is commonly found in school lunchboxes.
Kitchener buns
A delicious sweet pastry made and sold in South Australia since 1915, a kitchener bun is made from a sweet yeasted dough similar to doughnuts, split and then filled with raspberry or strawberry jam and cream.
Frog cakes
Balfours Frogcakes have been eaten South Australia for almost 100 years and have even been listed as a South Australian Heritage Icon. Made of a square base of vanilla sponge cake, with a dollop of cream on top whole shape is covered in fondant icing and decorated to look like a frog.
Pie floaters
A South Aussie icon, a pie floater is an interesting concoction. Think a typical Australian-style meat pie drowned in a chunky pea and ham soup, topped with tomato sauce.
Fruchocs
Menz Fruchocs are delicious little balls of fruit wrapped in chocolate. Fruchocs are available all over the state and can be found at petrol stations and supermarkets, you can even visit dedicated Fruchoc shops!
